Il quadro giuridico europeo sulla sorveglianza biometrica

This Article aims to reconstruct the European legal framework surrounding biometric surveillance, demonstrating that human rights violations are most evident at borders. The measures outlined in the AI Act can certainly be regarded as an important, yet still insufficient, response to the complex issues outlined.
